... Since image restoration algorithms are highly sensitive to the accuracy of the calculated PSF, a significant portion of our research effort is devoted to accurately modeling the PSF which is a highly non-linear problem. Our approach is based on analytical modeling of the wavefront phase using Zernike polynomials. ... In the Fourier domain, we scale the phase map by an observed PSF to more accurately account for the HST/FOC combination. ... The final result is an improved estimate of the phase map. ...

... One of the widely used models of neural network is the multi-layered perceptron [6]. The model network has layers of input and output elements called neurons. ... An input vector is put on the input layer, passes through the hidden layers, and arrives at the output layer. The corresponding output vector is determined by calculation of the neuron activity level for each layer using already known values of neuron activity of the previous layers. ...
